Book Reviews of Garnishing: A Feast For Your Eyes
Book Review: Easy for Beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for beginners. There's a lot of pictures for the carving and centerpiece. I keep referring the book from time to time for refresher. I gone beyond the level here. This book helped inspire me to go beyond the garnishes here. Great book for everyone who are intimidated by the garnishing. Just get the knife and start garnishing. Make a mistake, eat your own mistake by making a stir-fry or fruit salad out of it. Practise makes perfect. Tips: Always try to use a sharp knife. Dull knife makes carving difficult and dangerous.Book Review: Food Should Taste AND Look Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great guide for anyone wanting to add some zest and visual appeal to the usually dull serving of food. Written by a professional, even cooks with no garnishing experience can create gorgeous decorations, presentations and centerpieces. This book is also great for parties and holidays. Taste is only one part of a memorable meal or buffet, attractiveness also counts! With the help of the many pictures found in this book, family and guests will swear that you were trained by a master decorator!Book Review: Fun way to decorate food!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has a color photo of the finished item garnished with illustrations on how to do it and written instructions. There are lots of fun ideas for holidays and special occasions. The cabbage Christmas Tree & Pinapple Christmas Tree are fun. For Easter there are Eggheads, Chicks & Bunnies as well as a Jicama Bunny that you can do. My personal favorite is the Daikon & Pineapple Palm Tree! This is a good book on the basics to get you started creating some fun food decorations. Enjoy! :)Book Review: Great book for the beginner, esy to read and use.

I have this book and have found it to be one of the best I have encountered. The book is easy to read and understand. It comes illistrated with easy instructions to follow. As an ameature cook I like to experment with this these types of things. The first time I used this book to do a vegetable tray I got nothing but great complaments on the garnishes. This book makes the hard looking things simple to do. Well worth the priceBook Review: Very concise for the apprentice.
Summary: 4 Stars
I found that this book is very helpful for the novice/trainee in buffet garnishing. It has been of great help for me in training my staff in our hotel. The templates are a great aid for those that are somewhat artistically talented and have a natural ability to translate a picture to the actual food product in the practice of garnishing.
